Prima Power, a leader in sheet metal working manufacturing solutions, is advancing the industry with its innovative combination of punching and laser cutting technologies, showcased through the Combi Genius and Combi Sharp machines.
The Combi Genius represents a next-generation punch-laser combination that enhances flexibility, productivity, and efficiency by integrating high-speed punching and precise fiber laser cutting within a single, compact unit. This advancement empowers manufacturers to achieve enhanced production with a reduced footprint.
Performance and Adaptability in Sheet Metal Fabrication
Dubbed the Swiss Army knife of sheet metal fabrication, the Combi Genius offers a compact, all-in-one solution built for performance and adaptability. Central to its platform is a high-capacity turret paired with industry-standard IPG fiber laser resonators available in 3-, 4-, or 6-kW power levels.
This robust integration of operations — including punching, tapping, forming, marking, and laser cutting — allows for completion in a single setup. By reducing the need for multiple machines, the Combi Genius cuts down on production time and optimizes valuable floor space.
Seamless Integration and Customization
Both the Combi Sharp and Combi Genius deliver rapid, high-quality cutting capabilities across a diverse range of materials, such as aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, brass, and copper up to 8 mm thick. This flexibility enhances application potential and allows manufacturers to adapt swiftly to changing production demands.
The modular design of the Combi Genius permits complete customization and seamless integration with Prima Power’s proprietary automation solutions, including automated loading/unloading, material handling, part sorting, and storage systems. This readiness for automation allows customers to scale operations as production requirements evolve without a comprehensive system overhaul.
Enhanced Tooling and Efficiency
The Combi Genius can support up to 400 tools, which reduces downtime associated with tool changes and facilitates the production of complex parts with improved material use. Its intelligent ram technology, featuring an optional rotating punching ram, shortens changeover times and boosts tooling capacity. Users with existing inventories benefit from compatibility with thick turret tools.
Advanced Automation and Sustainability
Automation solutions offered by Prima Power include the Compact Express for automatic sheet loading and unloading, the LST/LSR for material handling and part picking, and the Night Train for integrated, multi-material storage and part flow. Drop doors and conveyors streamline part sorting and minimize manual handling — enabling lights-out production and maximizing throughput.
The Combi Genius also incorporates energy efficiency through its servo-electric EcoPunch technology, achieving up to 82% energy savings, requiring low maintenance, and operating at high speed — all contributing to reduced operating costs and environmental impact.
User-Friendly Software and Support
Equipped with user-friendly software, including the Tulus® Suite, the Combi Genius simplifies programming, monitoring, and controlling of production flow. Features such as intuitive touch interfaces, ERP integration, and real-time analytics allow operators to efficiently manage operations and make informed decisions.
High-quality cutting heads and automatic laser process monitoring ensure excellent cut quality with minimal defects or downtime. Complementing its compact footprint, the Combi Genius provides comprehensive life-cycle support that includes process analysis, training, preventive maintenance, and remote care, ensuring sustained performance and customer satisfaction.
Prima Power, a pioneer in sheet metal working manufacturing solutions, showcases its advanced combination of punching and laser cutting technologies through two machines: the Combi Genius and the Combi Sharp. The Combi Genius is a next-generation punch-laser combination machine that redefines flexibility, productivity, and efficiency.
Designed to meet the demands of modern manufacturing, it integrates high-speed punching and precise fiber laser cutting within a single, compact footprint — empowering manufacturers to achieve more with less.
Built for performance and adaptability
The Combi significantly reduces production time and optimizes valuable floor space
Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of sheet metal fabrication: a compact, all-in-one solution built for performance and adaptability. At the heart of the Combi machine platform is a high-capacity turret combined with industry-standard IPG fiber laser resonators, available in 3-, 4-, or 6-kW power levels.
This powerful integration enables multiple operations — punching, tapping, forming, marking, and laser cutting — to be performed in a single setup. By eliminating the need for multiple machines, the Combi significantly reduces production time and optimizes valuable floor space.
Integration with Prima Power’s own automation solutions
Both the Combi Sharp and Combi Genius deliver rapid, high-quality cutting across a wide range of materials and thicknesses — including aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, brass, and copper up to 8 mm. This versatility broadens application potential and allows manufacturers to quickly adapt to shifting production demands.
The modular design of the Combi Genius allows for full customization and seamless integration with Prima Power’s own automation solutions — including automated loading/unloading, material handling, part sorting, and storage systems. This automation-readiness enables customers to scale their systems as production needs grow, without requiring a full system overhaul.
Intelligent ram technology
The Combi Genius supports up to 400 tools, reducing downtime for tool changes and enabling the production of complex parts with improved material utilization.
Intelligent ram technology — with an optional rotating punching ram — further shortens changeover times and expands tooling capacity. Compatibility with thick turret tools adds flexibility for users with existing inventories.
Compact Express for automatic sheet
Drop doors and conveyors streamline part sorting and reduce manual handling
Automation solutions include the Compact Express for automatic sheet loading and unloading, LST/LSR for material handling and part picking at the cutting head, and Night Train for connected, multi-material storage and part flow.
Drop doors and conveyors streamline part sorting and reduce manual handling — enabling lights-out production and maximum throughput.
Servo-electric EcoPunch technology
Energy efficiency is built into the Combi Genius through its servo-electric EcoPunch technology, delivering up to 82% energy savings, low maintenance requirements, and high operational speed — resulting in lower operating costs and a reduced environmental footprint. User-friendly software, including the Tulus® Suite, simplifies programming, monitoring, and controlling the production flow.
Intuitive touch interfaces, ERP integration, and real-time analytics enable operators to manage operations efficiently and make informed decisions. High-quality cutting heads and automatic laser process monitoring ensure superior cut quality with minimal defects or downtime.
Comprehensive life-cycle support
With its compact footprint, the Combi Genius helps manufacturers maximize floor space while boosting output. Comprehensive life-cycle support — including process analysis, training, preventive maintenance, and remote care — ensures long-term performance and customer satisfaction.
